UNCLASSIFIED ALL-DOMAIN ANOMALY RESOLUTION OFFICE (AARO) ALL-DOMAIN ANOMALY RESOLUTION OFFICE The U.S. Defense Department & The UAP Mission UNCLASSIFIED Last updated: February 2024 03 All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office Chief of Staff, AARO Authority: FY24 NDAA, now codified at 44 U.S.C. 2107 Date: 2/5/2025 Released in Full: X Case Number: 330UAP000003 Page determined to be Unclassified Reviewed by Chief of Staff, AARO IAW FY24 NDAA, Section 1841(a)(1)(C) Date: 2/5/2025 UNCLASSIFIED ALL-DOMAIN ANOMALY RESOLUTION OFFICE (AARO) UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) are sources of anomalous detections in one or more domains (i.e., airborne, seaborne, spaceborne, and/or transmedium) that are not yet attributable to known actors and that demonstrate behaviors that are not readily understood by sensors or observers. “Anomalous detections” include, but are not limited to, phenomena that demonstrate apparent capabilities or material that exceed known performance envelopes. A UAP may consist of one or more unidentified anomalous objects and may persist over an extended period of time.  UAP ≠unattributed balloon activity; key emphases on “anomalous” factors Existence of UAP is direct consequence of domain- awareness gaps UAP potentially represent advanced capabilities operating in our domain-aw areness gaps 2UNCLASSIFIED 03 Page determined to be Unclassified Reviewed by Chief of Staff, AARO IAW FY24 NDAA, Section 1841(a)(1)(C) Date: 2/5 /2025 UNCLASSIFIED ALL-DOMAIN ANOMALY RESOLUTION OFFICE (AARO) 3UNCLASSIFIED MISSION, VISION, & FUNCTION MISSION: Minimize technical and intelligence surprise by synchronizing scientific, intelligence and operational detection, identification, attribution, and mitigation of unidentified, anomalous objects in the vicinity of national security areas. VISION: Unidentified, anomalous objects are effectively and efficiently detected, tracked, analyzed, and managed by way of normalized DoD, IC, and civil business practices; by adherence to the highest scientific and intelligence-tradecraft standards; and with greater transparency and shared awareness. (U) OPERATIONSSCIENCE & TECHNOLOGYANALYSISSTRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS Synchronizing and sequencing Theater, IC, and other capabilities for optimized, cross-functional UAP detection, tracking, mitigation, and recovery. Revealing and exploiting elusive and enigmatic signatures through advanced technologies, and focused, cross-sector partnerships. Delivering peer-reviewed conclusions through deliberate syntheses of scientific and intelligence method, tradecraft, tools, and expertise. Driving shared awareness across mission partners, oversight authorities, and stakeholders; normalizing cross-sector partnerships and building trust with transparency.

(U) INTEGRATED OPERATIONS STRATEGY Leads Integrated-Operations Strategy development-tailoring platform and sensor tasking and optimizing cross-functional tipping and cueing between Theater and IC assets. Guides development of integrated-operations plans; standardized reporting requirements; interoperable tactics, techniques, and procedures; and operational prioritization of platforms and sensors. HISTORICAL UAP-DATA ACQUISITION Organically garners primary research data for scientific and intelligence analyst consumption through voluntary interviews with those who claim placement and access to UAP and UAP-related information. This is accomplished through the collection of historical government and open-source data and through other activities. UAP DETECTING & TRACKING Advises Theater, Defense, and national UAP operations—optimizing platform and sensor tasking across functions and in real-time, during Area of Responsibility (AOR) baselining and as anomalies are detected, observed. Manages the secure retention of UAP data from operational platforms and its transfer to AARO. UAP MITIGATION Partners with Joint Staff and counterintelligence elements in the development of UAP mitigation strategies including—but not limited to─UAP incursions and engagement. Advises Commands on AOR-specific UAP mitigation planning on tactics, techniques, and procedures; and on releva…
